Yeah, the only thing good about that call is that hopefully they will recognize that McDaniel is no rocket scientist and not a future head coach. . . .talk about thinking you are too smart ! Gotta run that play. If you don't make that yard you don't deserve to win but that uncoordinated pass play call ???????

Ya...I wish we had run it too...would have given us a great shot at the TD which would have allowed us to only need a FG to win it. Overall a good game plan and brain farts at the worst time stand out...oh well...

yep, awful play call. pats got outplayed and outcoached tonight and they deserved to lose. they were undisciplined the whole night and couldnt keep their emotions in check. however, they were robbed at the end there, gronk was literally getting hugged in the end zone, i dont know how you pick up the flag there.

It would not have won the game by the way. Carolina scored 7 rather easily and killed most of the clock doing it. It would have been overtime most likely but there is no guarantee the Pats win the coin toss.

We got close enough for 3 which would have won it....

No, the Pats would have needed time after the first down to score the TD unless you are saying that they would have scored on the run itself which no one is saying here. Also the Pats would never have gone for it on 4th and ten in a tie game. Never, ever, ever, ever!

Run for first down gives first and goal on 3. Means that even if dont get ball in with 3 runs there is less than 1 minute left after kick FG

Had we scored 7 and not 3 the game would have changed versus what happened. Our play selection would have been different needing 3 versus 7. I still say we win with a late FG had JM not taken the ball out of Blount's hands.

They would never have gone for it on 4th down. It was a great 4th down play but it would never have happened. The Pats dinked and dunked for the first 3 plays like they did all night but Carolina got in Brady's face. If you look at the game thread I criticized the call probably before anyone else but at best we are looking at OT. There was over 6 minutes left when Ghost kicked the FG. The Pats were not going to kill 5 minutes on a 1st and goal assuming they get the first down.

hey guys it is what it is. Although I vehemently disagreed with Josh McD's play call on that 3rd and 1, I thought overall he called a pretty good game. The killer here was the Ridley fumble, and I like Ridley alot more than some other folks on this forum. Riddler needs to get it together or be gone and draft another RB this year,

That was the turning point of the game right there. Why throw a shot when the D is gonna let you walk in the endzone in a few more plays??? Joshy mucked that up, blount was wearing them out and we shouldve run until we scored. made cam go 80 in 3 min. n have to score a TD....smh

Also they were quick to kick a fg instead of going for it

I think you had to kick the field goal. If you can take the lead late in the game you should. While I disagree with the pass call Brady needed to throw it away and kick the field goal for the lead. Carolina was still going to score the tying TD in my opinion. I believe they still had all three time outs left at the ens. The Pats with 6:30 left could not have killed as much clock as everyone thinks unless a whole bunch of penalties occurred.
